I-Worx isisindo esilula, inokulungiswa okuhlukahlukene kwe-ergonomic, futhi ayisebenzi njengeminye imikhiqizo, kodwa ifaneleka kakhulu otshanini obuncane.
Ngaphandle kwebhethri, i-Echo ingasebenza ngaphandle kokuphazamiseka.Kodwa kudinga ukuthi unakekele injini futhi ugcine uphethiloli esandleni.
Kusukela ngo-2013, besilokhu sethula imihlahlandlela yemishini yamandla yangaphandle, okuhlanganisa abagunda utshani, abafutha iqhwa, nabavuthela amaqabunga.Zonke lezi zifundo nezivivinyo zisenze saqonda ngokuqinile ukuthi iyini into enhle yotshani.Kusinikeze ukuqonda okujulile ngabakhiqizi abahlukahlukene kanye nesithunzi sabo ngokwekhwalithi, ukusebenziseka kanye nenkonzo yamakhasimende.
Ngiphinde ngibe nolwazi olunzulu lokusika intambo.Njengamanje ngihlala eNew Hampshire futhi nginamahektha angu-2 otshani obugundiwe.Ngemva kokusikwa ngakunye, ngisebenzisa isinqamuli sezintambo ezizungeze izindonga zamatshe, imibhede yezimbali, izindlela, namahhoko ezinkukhu cishe imizuzu engu-30.Ngisenocingo lukagesi olucishe lube yingxenye yemayela, engidinga ukulugcina nge-trimmers lonke ihlobo (noma iyiphi i-blade yotshani ekhula ukuze ithinte ucingo izonciphisa ukusebenza kwayo).
U-Harry Sawyers, umhleli walo mhlahlandlela futhi owayengumlimi ochwepheshe wezingadi, uhlole abalungisi abaningi endaweni yakhe yase-Los Angeles, eyayingumqansa kakhulu ezindaweni eziningi ukuthi ingasikwa.Kulesi simo, umkhuba ojwayelekile wendawo ukuwukhuhla ngesinqamuli ukuze kungabikho lutho olusha lapho kufika inkathi yomlilo.
Izinqamuli zezintambo (ezibuye zibizwe ngokuthi ama-weeders, trimmers, whips, noma ama-weeders) zihambisana kahle kakhulu nabagunda utshani futhi zingangeza umphumela omuhle, oqabulayo otshanini bakho.Imishini yokugunda utshani ifanele izindawo ezivulekile, kuyilapho izinqamuli zezintambo zisetshenziselwa ukuhlanza imiphetho kanye nazo zonke izindawo abagunda utshani abangakwazi ukufinyelela kuzo: amakhona, izikhala, nezindawo ezincane phakathi kothango nangaphansi;imigwaqo emincane nemiqansa;Eduze nezigxobo zebhokisi leposi, imibhede ephakanyisiwe, izihlahla nezigxobo zezibani;eduze kocingo nezindonga.
Izincomo zethu zokunquma ezabantu abadinga amathuluzi athembekile nanamandla okusiza ngokuhlanza ngemva kokugunda kanye nokususa ukhula.Asilibheki ithuluzi lezinga lochwepheshe elingasetshenziswa usuku lonke ukukala amasimu otshani, noma kufanele liqine ngokwanele ukuze lisetshenziswe ngokungaguquki futhi liqine.Sibheka umkhiqizo olungele ukusetshenziswa ngezikhathi ezithile futhi ovamile, futhi onamandla anele okubhekana notshani, ukhula oluminyene kanye nezihlahla zesiqu.
Kulo mhlahlandlela, sigxila kuzinqamuli ezingenantambo ezingashajwa futhi ezinamandla ngokwanele ukusika kusukela otshanini obulula ukuya okhulani olukhule kakhulu.Uma kuqhathaniswa nesinqamuli sentambo yegesi, imodeli engenazintambo ithule futhi ayidingi ukulungiswa okuqhubekayo.Ingaqala ngokucindezela inkinobho, ayikhiphi igesi ephumayo, futhi “ingakwazi ukufaka uphethiloli” ngaphandle kokugijima egalaji likaphethiloli iyodwa.Ngokuhamba kweminyaka, ukuhlolwa kwethu kufakazele ukuthi amathuluzi angcono kakhulu angenazintambo anesikhathi sokusebenza namandla okusika, futhi afanele yonke imisebenzi yokuhlanza eyedlulele kakhulu.Uma kucatshangelwa zonke lezi zici kanye nokulula, intengo ye-trimmer engenazintambo icishe ifane nemodeli kaphethiloli-uma ucabangela izindleko zesikhathi eside zokuthenga igesi yemvelo namafutha kanye nesikhathi sokugcina, intengo iphansi nakakhulu.Kwezinye izimo ezimbi kakhulu, amathuluzi womoya kuphela angakwenza-sinethuluzi lomoya elingahlangabezana nalezi zidingo.Kodwa lokhu akuvamile ukusebenza ezidingweni zabantu abaningi, ngakho-ke sonke lesi sigaba sichaza izindinganiso zethu zokulungisa ezingenazintambo.
Amandla: Zonke izinqamuli ezingenazintambo esizibonayo zinganquma utshani obujwayelekile, kodwa sifuna isilungisiwe esikwazi nokuphatha ukhula olude noma oluminyene.Yilapho siqala khona ukubona umehluko omkhulu phakathi kwamamodeli.Izinqamuli ezibuthakathaka zinyakaza kanzima ezimweni ezinzima kakhulu, noma ziboshwe ngotshani noma zibuphushele phansi esikhundleni sokusika utshani.Ezihlahleni ezijulile, amamodeli ambalwa kuphela angasika izitshalo eziminyene kakhulu, njenge-Japanese knotweed egcwele.Nakuba lena kuyindawo lapho abagunda utshani bedingeka khona ngempela, kuyajabulisa ukuthi abanye abalungisi bangakwazi ukuyiphatha ngesikhathi esibucayi.
Sizibonile izinqamuli ezilula kakhulu, ezilungele utshani obuncane.Basebenzisa izintambo ezincanyana futhi bangasika utshani nokhula oluthile, kodwa banobunzima bokubhekana nezitshalo ezijiyile futhi ezishubile.
Isikhathi sokusebenza nesikhathi sokushaja: Izinqamuli ezingenazintambo ngokuvamile zifakelwe ibhethri, ngakho kubalulekile ukuthi zibe nesikhathi esilungile sokusebenza.Lapho siletha izilungisi (ama-volts angu-40 nangaphezulu) emasimini akhule kakhulu, ngisho nemodeli engenantambo esebenza kabi kakhulu yasika amamitha-skwele angaphezu kuka-1,000 otshani obuminyene.Ukuhumushela lokhu emagameni awusizo kakhudlwana, bangakwazi ukusula ibhande lotshani elingamafidi angu-1 ububanzi kuyo yonke inkundla yebhola.Isilungisi esisebenza kahle kakhulu singasika cishe amafidi-skwele angu-3,400, okusho ukuphungula ubude obufanayo obungu-1-foot ukuzungeza umjikelezo wenkundla yebhola lezinyawo engaphezu kwengxenye yesithathu.Kuningi lokhu.Khumbula, sihlole ngaphansi kwezimo ezinzima kakhulu zokusika, futhi ithuluzi lalizungeza ngesivinini esiphezulu.Ngaphansi kwezimo ezijwayelekile, isikhathi sokusebenza singase sibe side.
Kodwa ukushaja isikhathi kungenye indaba.Iningi lalezi zilungisi zisebenzisa amabhethri amakhulu, futhi zingase zithathe isikhashana ukushajwa ngokugcwele.Ngenxa yokuthi ibhethri liphela ngokuphelele ngesikhathi sisetshenziswa, sifuna ithuluzi elinesikhathi esifushane sokushaja ukuze sinciphise isikhathi sokuphumula.
Ukunethezeka nokulinganisela: Kusukela endaweni yokubuka ye-ergonomic, isilungisi asiyona into engaphezu kwenduku ende enesisindo ekugcineni ngakunye.Kungaba amathuluzi anzima ukuphatha, ngakho-ke phakathi nokuhlolwa kwethu, sibheke ibhalansi iyonke yemodeli ngayinye nokuthi kulula kangakanani ukuphatha imodeli ngayinye.Ezinye zineziqeshana zamabhande ehlombe, okuwukuthinta kahle.Kubaluleke ngokulinganayo: ukuthi zihamba kanjani futhi zisabela kanjani.Imodeli ephumelelayo kufanele ibe nezinga eliphezulu lokunemba ekhanda lokunquma ukuze kube lula ukugunda utshani-ngaphandle kokulimaza izimbali.
Ukushintshwa kwentambo okulula: Ngokubhaxabulwa nokusikwa okuqhubekayo, intambo yesinqamuli igqabuka ngesivinini esisheshayo, ngakho-ke akuvamile ukuthi kufakwe intambo entsha kusilungisi njalo izikhathi ezimbalwa.Isikhathi eside, ukubeka intambo entsha kusinqamuli bekuyingxenye ekhungathekisa kakhulu yesinqamuli sezintambo, kodwa amamodeli amasha enza lokhu kube lula ngokusonta intambo ekhanda lamathuluzi ngokusebenzisa isistimu ezenzakalelayo noma eyenziwa ngesandla.
Ukuvikela udoti: Kunesembozo sokuvikela ngaphansi kwekhanda lesilungisi ukuze kuvikelwe izinyawo namankonyane emfucumfucwini endizayo.Ezivivinyweni zethu, sithole ukuthi ukuvikeleka okubanzi kungcono.Amanye amamodeli (ngokuvamile amamodeli aklanyelwe ochwepheshe) anonogada abawumngcingo, amisa okunye kodwa hhayi yonke imfucumfucu, futhi avumele imilenze nezinyawo zethu kudaywe ngokuluhlaza ekupheleni kwenqubo yokunquma.Onogada abakhulu abakwazi ukumisa yonke into, kodwa benza kangcono.
Izindleko: Ngokungafani nezinto zokusebenza zangaphandle njengama-chainsaws nezinsimbi zokusika utshani ezinezilungisi, ukuxhuma okungenantambo akuholeli enkokhelweni yentengo.Izinqamuli zegesi eziqondile ezingcono kakhulu ngokuvamile zibiza phakathi kuka-US$175 kanye no-US$250, okumayelana nalapho izinqamuli eziqinile ezingenantambo ezingaphezu kuka-40 volts zihlala khona.Futhi, lokhu amanani entengo angaphambili kuphela, futhi akunaki izindleko zesikhathi eside ezifana negesi yemvelo nokunakekela (okuzonyusa izindleko zesinqamuli segesi).Izinqamuli ezincane ezinikwa amandla amabhethri angu-18-volt kanye nangu-20-volt ngokuvamile ziba ku-$100.
Uma sibheka imodeli ezohlolwa, sinqabe noma yimuphi umkhiqizo onenani elingaphezu kwama-$250.Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi sithole ukuthi maningi kakhulu amamodeli akalwe kakhulu ebangeni elisukela ku-$150 kuya ku-$250 ukuze athethelele ukweqa uphawu.Lesi sinqumo sisusa amamodeli angenazintambo emagameni ochwepheshe—afana no-Husqvarna kanye ne-Stihl—ukunikeza izilungisi ezingafaki ngisho amabhethri ebangeni lika-$300.Awudingi ukukhokha leyo mali ukuze ulungise utshani obuyisisekelo.
Ukuze uqonde ukuthi abalungisi baphatha kanjani utshani obuhlukahlukene nezitshalo, sizihlole endaweni yasemakhaya eNew Hampshire edinga ukuthenwa okuningi: amafidi angu-187 odonga lwamatshe, amafidi angu-182 othango lothango, amafidi angu-180 othango lwengadi, amafidi angu-137 emibhede yezimbali. , imfucumfucu engamafidi angu-150 ezungeze izakhiwo namashedi ahlukahlukene, amafidi angu-51 okuthena imfucumfucu (ezungeze izihlahla namadwala amakhulu), kanye nendawo evulekile engasegqumeni engamamitha-skwele angu-556 (kuyingozi kakhulu ukusebenzisa umshini wokugunda utshani).Siphinde sisebenzisa eziningi zazo ukuze sihlanze amagquma ase-Los Angeles, agcwele utshani obungamafidi angu-3 ukuphakama, amahlumela, kanye namakhakhasi.
Sasisebenzisa ama-trimmers phakathi kwezihlahla zama-rose, emaphethelweni e-driveway, naseduze kwendawo yokucima umlilo.Ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa, sigxile ekusebenziseni kalula, ibhalansi, i-ergonomics, ukuphatha kanye nomsindo.
Ukuze siqhathanise isikhathi esisebenzayo namandla, sihudulela izilungisi eziningi endaweni ekhule kakhulu, sikhiphe amabhethri azo ngokususa iziqephu ezinkulu zotshani obuminyene nokhula oluminyene, bese sibala ingqikithi yendawo ithuluzi ngalinye elingakwazi ukuyiphatha.Ukuze sihlole umkhawulo ongaphezulu wesilungisi ngasinye, siqhathanise isilungisi ngasinye namafindo amaningi ase-Japanese.
Okokugcina, ukuze siqinisekise lokho esikutholile, sichithe iminyaka eminingana sisebenzisa ukukhetha kwethu nezinye izimbangi zethu ezinkulu ukuze sihlangabezane nezidingo zethu zansuku zonke zokunquma iyunithi yezinhlamvu ezindaweni ezihlukahlukene.
I-Ego's ST1511T iphakeme kakhulu kunezinye izinhlobo ngokuya kwesikhathi namandla.Ishaft nesibambo sayo kulula ukusilungisa, okwenza ithuluzi likhululeke kakhulu ukulisebenzisa, ngisho nangesikhathi eside sokusikwa.
Kuzo zonke izinqamuli esizihlolile, i-Ego ST1511T Power+ String Trimmer ene-Powerload ihlanganisa amakhono okusika aluhlaza, amakhono, ukuphatha, ukunethezeka kanye nesikhathi sokusebenza ngendlela okungekho omunye umuntu onayo.Iphinde ibe nesistimu yokulayisha umugqa olula esike sayihlola, kanye namashafu ebonakude kanye nokulungiswa kwezibambo okusheshayo ukuze kufane nabantu bazo zonke izindawo eziphakeme.Zonke izilungisi ze-Ego esizihlolile zinesikhathi sokugijima esifana ne-marathon, ngokuvamile esicishe sibe yinde ngo-40% kunezinye izilungisi (ezingaphezu kuka-50% ezimweni eziningi).I-ST1511T ingasika utshani obunzima, ukhula olumahhadlahhadla, kanye ne-knotweed eyi-intshi engu-1 ngaphandle kokwehlisa ijubane.Wonke lawa makhono okusika afinyelelwa nge-trigger ebushelelezi, eguquguqukayo, eyenza umsebenzi omuhle ube lula njengokusika okucacile okunamandla.Nakuba zingekho izinqamuli esizihlolile ezazithulile, i-Ego ST1511T izwakale ihamba phambili, inomsindo ojulile kunokukhala okuphakeme kwabanye abalungisi.Le Ego iqedela ukupakishwa ngebhalansi enhle kakhulu, ukubamba okunethezekile kanye nokuthuthuka komugqa wokuphakelayo kokushayisana okulula.
Ku-knotweed yase-Japanese ewugqinsi, i-Ego iqonda ngqo esiqwini esingu-1 intshi esiwugqinsi, sengathi azikho nhlobo.
Amandla nesikhathi sokusebenza se-Ego ST1511T siphezulu kakhulu kunezinye izilungisi esizibonile.Senze ukuhlolwa kwebhethri kumodeli yangaphambili, futhi i-Ego yehlisa cishe amafidi-skwele angu-3,400 wezinkambu eziminyene zotshani, ukhula nezihlahlana (indawo ecishe ibe ngamafithi angu-60 x 60) ngemva kokushajwa kwebhethri eyodwa.Ngaleso sikhathi, i-trimmer yesibili ehamba phambili yayisika kuphela cishe amafidi-skwele angu-2,100 (cishe ukuncishiswa ngo-40%);ngaphandle kwalokho, abanye basika amafidi-skwele ayi-1,600 noma ngaphansi (ngaphansi kuka-50% wokuziqedela).Ngokombono wokusebenza kwe-Ego, inganquma utshani obungamafidi angu-1 ububanzi ngemva kokushajwa kwebhethri, okuyizingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zemayela ubude.Kulula ukuphatha zonke kodwa utshani obunwebeka kakhulu.Ukwazi lokhu, akumangazi ukuthi i-Ego ST1511T ingahlangabezana nezidingo zokuthena zesakhiwo esikhulu saseNew Hampshire ngokushaja okukodwa (lokhu kudinga cishe amafidi aqondile angama-900 okuthena kanye nokuthenwa okwengeziwe okungamamitha-skwele angama-556. Endaweni eyisicaba, umshini wokusika utshani. angikwazi" ukufika).
Uma uhlangabezana nebhethri elifile, ishaja ye-Ego ingashajwa ngokugcwele emaminithini angaba ngu-40.Uma ufisa ukuthola isiqinisekiso sebhethri lesibili (yize singacabangi ukuthi kudingekile), ungasebenzisa ibhethri elengeziwe, elisukela ku-US$150 kuya ku-US$400 kuye ngamahora we-ampere.
Amandla e-Ego ahlaba umxhwele njengesikhathi sayo sokusebenza, futhi azikho ezinye izilungisi esizihlolile ezikwazi ukufanisa amandla ayo okusika aphelele.Lapho sithena ensimini noma emithambekeni yase-Los Angeles, asilokothi sime, singabaze noma sehlise ijubane lapho sisebenzisa i-Ego.Isika ngesivinini esishwiba ngaso isinqamuli sekhanda.Ezinye izilungisi zokusika zizibopha otshanini obude, noma (lapho zibhekene neziqephu eziminyene) zisunduze utshani phansi esikhundleni sokubusika.Ku-knotweed yase-Japanese ewugqinsi, i-Ego iqonda ngqo esiqwini esingu-1 intshi esiwugqinsi, sengathi azikho nhlobo.Ezinye izilungisi zithatha isikhathi eside ukuqeda lo msebenzi noma azikwazi ukusika nhlobo.
Kodwa i-Ego akuyona nje eyokususa izinkambu nokucekela phansi i-knotweed yaseJapane ehlaselayo (yize inhle ngempela).I-trimmer inezivinini ezimbili kanye ne-variable speed trigger.Lesi silungiselelo sikuvumela ukuthi ulawule ngokugcwele ikhanda elisikayo, likuvumela ukuthi uthole isivinini sokusika esiwufanelekela umsebenzi, kusukela ekususeni ukhula oluwugqinsi kuya emsebenzini omuhle ozungeze izitshalo ezihlala njalo kanye nezindawo ezithambile ezinjengamaceleni apendiwe noma amagridi.Kulezo zindawo ezingcono kakhulu, sishintshela kusilungiselelo sesivinini esiphansi, ukuze sikwazi ukugcina kalula ukudonsa i-trigger ngokuphelele, kodwa ngeke sivumele isilungisi ngesivinini saso esiphezulu.
Ngaphezu komsebenzi wayo, isikhathi esisebenzayo nokulawula, ukwakheka kwe-ergonomic kwethuluzi kungcono kakhulu esikuhlolile.Isisindo se-Ego singaphezudlwana kwamaphawundi ayi-10, ngakho-ke ayilula kakhulu ekilasini layo.Kodwa kuselula kakhulu ukuyiphatha ngenxa yebhalansi yayo enhle kanye ne-telescopic shaft eyengeziwe kanye nokulungiswa okusheshayo kwesibambo (kwimodeli yangaphambilini ye-Ego, isibambo singanyakaziswa kuphela ngokukhulula uchungechunge lwezikulufu).Lezi zici ezimbili zivumela idizayini ye-ergonomic ye-Ego ukuthi yenziwe ngendlela oyifisayo ubude nezinhlobo ezihlukahlukene, esingakaze sizibone ngempela kulezi zinqamuli ezinkulu.Uma usebenzisa isinqamuli njengesilungisi, ukulungisa isibambo esisheshayo nakho kungashintsha isibambo kalula.
I-Ego iyidivayisi enezintambo ezimbili, okusho ukuthi izintambo ezimbili zisuka ekhanda lokusika.Futhi ifakwe intambo yokusika engu-0.095 inch, etholakala ohlangothini olujiyile, esiza ikhono lokusika lesilungisi (kunezinhlobonhlobo zezintambo ezingu-0.095 ongakhetha kuzo).Lolu hlobo lwe-Ego lungamukela izintambo ezincane, njengoba ummeleli wenkampani asitshela ukuthi, "Empeleni kuzokwandisa isikhathi sokusebenza, kodwa kuzodlula izintambo eziningi, ngoba uma ucingo luba mncane, kuyanda ukuphuka."Sihlole kakhulu Amayunithi anamandla imishini yokusika enezintambo ezimbili, iningi layo esebenzisa izintambo ezingu-0.095.
I-Ego inohlelo olulula lokulayisha umugqa esake salusebenzisa, futhi inqubo ichazwa ngokuningiliziwe kumanuwali we-Ego ST1510T (PDF).Uma zonke izintambo sezisetshenzisiwe, mane nje ufake intambo engaba amafidi angu-16 ekhanda lokunquma ukuze kube namafidi angu-8 aphume ohlangothini ngalunye, bese uvula isivalo saso.Bese uvele ucindezele inkinobho bese uchungechunge luzohlehlela ngokuzenzakalelayo ekhanda lokunquma, ngakho-ke lonke ithuluzi lilungele ukusetshenziswa emizuzwaneni embalwa.Kunzima ukwenza ihaba ngalokhu kuthuthukiswa ngaphezu kwesici esivame kakhulu sokusebenzisa izinqamuli zezintambo.Kwezinye izilungisi eziningi, udinga ukuqaqa lonke isilungisi sekhanda bese usonta ngesandla intambo entsha ku-spool (lokhu kuhlale kuyinqubo eyisicefe).Uhlelo lwe-Ego luyintuthuko edingeka kakhulu kule ndawo.
Uma intambo inqamuka lapho usika, i-Ego ingaqhubekisela phambili kalula ulayini wokuphakelayo kokushayisana.Vele uchofoze phansi kwekhanda lokunquma phansi, futhi ucezu lwentambo luzofakwa ku-spool yangaphakathi ngaphakathi.Unqenqema oluncane olungaphansi kwesihlangu semfucumfucu lusika isiphetho sentambo sibe ubude obufanele.I-spool ingabamba cishe amafidi angu-16 endophi, ngakho-ke uzothola ukuhlinzekwa okuqhubekayo, okubalulekile ezinqubweni zokuthena ezinde noma ezinolaka.
